*** structure **

The workshop is split in 3 parts

Workshop: guided by Lea

 

In this workshop we will explore the topic ‘trust’ in a contact improv setting.

When dancing in a contact jam we practice trust a lot.

We trust our body to carry us through space and to interact spontaneously with others.

We trust each other to maintain our boundaries when working with touch. And further when lifting each other or releasing weight on one another.

We trust the group process, releasing control where the jam leads.

In a playful way we’re exploring our relationship to different forms of trust and discuss how to make contact jams more trustworthy.

The workshop will be a combination of self experiential and interactive exercises.

Contact Jam: free, unguided CI jam with music. A space to move. You decide if you want to dance alone, in contact with others, or to just be in the space. This suits also as a space for you to explore the topic from the first part and its connection to CI.

 

short break

 

Sharing: Sharing space to talk about experiences regarding the topic during the jam or in past CI spaces. Can be a discussion, further elaboration of the topic or just an emotional sharing round. The space will be held by Lea.
